Windows 10 Styled ContextMenuStrip

Question

Is there a way to create ContextMenuStrip using Visual Studio and Forms with Windows 10 style. I know, that its Renderer can be changed in order to have look like Windows Vi

Answer 1

You can implement your custom Renderer and override OnRenderArrow and OnRenderItemCheck and pass your custom ColorTable to it. Then set it as Renderer of your ContextMenu.

Code for ColorTable:

public class MyColorTable : ProfessionalColorTable
{
    public override Color MenuItemBorder
    {
        get { return Color.WhiteSmoke; }
    }
    public override Color MenuItemSelected
    {
        get { return Color.WhiteSmoke; }
    }
    public override Color ToolStripDropDownBackground
    {
        get { return Color.White; }
    }
    public override Color ImageMarginGradientBegin
    {
        get { return Color.White; }
    }
    public override Color ImageMarginGradientMiddle
    {
        get { return Color.White; }
    }
    public override Color ImageMarginGradientEnd
    {
        get { return Color.White; }
    }
}

Code for Renderer:

public class MyRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer
{
    public MyRenderer()
        : base(new MyColorTable())
    {
    }
    protected override void OnRenderArrow(ToolStripArrowRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
        var r = new Rectangle(e.ArrowRectangle.Location, e.ArrowRectangle.Size);
        r.Inflate(-2, -6);
        e.Graphics.DrawLines(Pens.Black, new Point[]{
        new Point(r.Left, r.Top),
        new Point(r.Right, r.Top + r.Height /2), 
        new Point(r.Left, r.Top+ r.Height)});
    }

    protected override void OnRenderItemCheck(ToolStripItemImageRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
        var r = new Rectangle(e.ImageRectangle.Location, e.ImageRectangle.Size);
        r.Inflate(-4, -6);
        e.Graphics.DrawLines(Pens.Black, new Point[]{
        new Point(r.Left, r.Bottom - r.Height /2),
        new Point(r.Left + r.Width /3,  r.Bottom), 
        new Point(r.Right, r.Top)});
    }
}

Code for Form Load:

private void Form_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.contextMenuStrip1.Renderer = new MyRenderer();
}
